Europe 2014

Durnstein, 30 April

		After leaving Vienna, we woke the next morning to mist on the river. †
		By breakfast time, we had tied up at Durnstein. *
		It was an attractive walled village, with a castle at the top of the hill. *
		†
		Like many European villages, there were interesting byways. *
		†
		†
		Lynn liked some of the shop signs. *
		*
		*
		Nick at the top of the village (but not at the castle), surveying the Danube below. *
		The main sight, and the reason for calling here, is Durnstein Abbey. *
		*
		*
		*
		*
		*
		Then it was back to the Amabella to set off again for Melk.†
		passing castles and churches along the way. †
		*
		†
		Aggestein Castle. *

That afternoon, we visited Melk.
